(By Telegraph.—Press Association),
INVEBCABGILL, 18th Nov
Although the main object of a meeting of farmers held at Invereargill this afternoon was for the purpose of hearing addresses by Mr. David Jones, the chairman, and Mr. James Begg, a member, of the Meat Board, the opportunity was also taken to pass the following resolution in accordance with a request received by telegram from a member in the House:—
"That this meeting of producers of primary products respectfully urges upon the Government the immediate necessity of lifting the rate of exchange between. New Zealand and London as a means of relieving, the economic position of the Dominion."
Mr. Jones stated that the raising of the exchange rate was considered to be one of the best remedies for getting New Zealand out of her difficulty. He referred to what had been done in Aus. tralia, and concluded: "There is no better method of assisting the farmer today than by giving to us a rate of exchange no less than Australia."
